What Is a Peach Dump Cake?

A dump cake is exactly what it sounds like — you literally dump the ingredients into a pan (or in this case, your slow cooker), layer them, and bake. No stirring, no blending.

It’s not quite a cobbler, not quite a cake — but it’s the perfect hybrid dessert. The fruit base bubbles underneath, and the cake mix on top forms a soft, golden crust, soaked with flavor.

Think of it like a fruit cobbler’s laid-back cousin — easygoing, rich, and super satisfying.
